One Man Pontoon Boat What Is The Most Bouyant Material Known To Man?

What is the most bouyant material known to man? - one man pontoon boat

OK, here's the ball. I've learned SWATH type hull bottom. I think the "Dock" hull form must be more dynamic of the substance available, but I did not understand the situation, what it is. Styrofoam is almost certainly the work, but there is a better alternative?

More dynamic - empty
Secondly - Hydrogen
Thirdly - helium, etc ...

Consider the density in terms of weight. Once you have about 0.2 or less, to begin play at the level of diminishing returns. Styrofoam is that less than 0.1, perhaps? Thus, additional costs for anything less dense can not buy yet another feature of the lot. Do the math say that in a cubic meter. This amount of water is about 1 ton. There is no significant difference when the pontoon weighs 100 pounds, they said, they contain nothing in comparison to 120 pounds when filled with foam. Write deeper than a fraction of an inch in the water.

Simply use a helmet will be closed and use the scroll key to the dynamic needs presented, had the material water resistant to any material.

Gary H gets my vote.
You want the item with the lowest mass that occupies the maximum space. That is why I am voting for the vacuum.
This course is a challenge, because the ship could be easily crushed with a vacuum by the pressure differences inside and outside. So the next option is a gas, the less mass, when the pontoon has been filled to 1 atm pressure. It would be hydrogen. It happens quickly with oxygen in the presence of a leak and a spark for my next would be to burn helium. Incineration is not nearly as easy as hydrogen.

What is air? I'm not weird, I mean the construction of a helmet with a material that is strong enough to be able to use as little as possible while maintaining the strength fills the air and left. The helmet is more of the steel construction and high scanning pontoons are simply filled with air under water. Note that the pontoons create lift equals the weight of the salt () of water displaced by its volume. This is called Archimedes' principle and is the cornerstone of naval engineering. Ever wonder how carrier afloat, even if they are of tons of steel? Same principle.
Finally, the air is to develop more positive than any sound, including polystyrene foam. In fact, the only thing that would be lighter than air, an inert gas such as helium. And yes, that's why a balloon filled with helium will fly. What it does is "floating" corresponds to the surface of the atmosphere to its density, the density of air to the expansion of the attraction of the earth.
